Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

"Xiahe, you did a great job!"

Bai Zhenzhu picked up a burgundy wool coat:

"You can't go wrong with bright colors when paired with black and white sweaters, and you can't go wrong with brown when paired with similar colors."

As she spoke, she paired a brown wool coat with dark khaki wide-leg pants.

She then paired a gray turtleneck sweater with a black wool coat.

Xia He stared in disbelief.

"I also have a pair of plaid pants here, how should I match them?"

Those trousers were made of wool fabric and were very crisp.

The White Pearl store doesn't carry this pair of pants; the two stores' stock isn't exactly the same.

"Such nice trousers shouldn't be paired with a long coat. They'd go well with a short wool coat or a leather jacket with a suit collar."

Xia He tried it, and it really worked.

I muttered something casually:

"This leather jacket is too expensive. If it doesn't sell, I'll just wear it myself."

Bai Zhenzhu said, "I just sold one."

Xia He was delighted: "You sold it? How much did you sell it for?"

Bai Zhenzhu: "790 after the discount."

Xia He was extremely surprised: "The price wasn't low either, yet it sold. There must be a lot of rich people here."

She also gained confidence in her leather jackets.

Remembering something, he went to the warehouse and brought out a large bag of things:

"This bag of trinkets is for you. My sister put two together. It's a free gift, so it's free."

"Such a good thing?" Bai Zhenzhu opened the bag and took a look. Inside were scarves, gloves, shawls, headbands and the like.

Xia He: "We are her big clients, so we should give her this little gift. My sister said she'll send me a magazine later, it has a new winter clothing collection from a big factory, and she wants us to take a look at the styles."

Bai Zhenzhu's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. We can see the styles in advance, which makes it easier to choose, and we don't have to buy blindly."

Xia He: "Yes, it will be more and more convenient for us to select goods in the future."

Bai Zhenzhu stayed at Xia He's place for a while before returning to her own shop.

Li Yueshu said that a young couple came by just now. The girl liked the coat, but thought it was too expensive, so she left.

Li Yueshu was quite disappointed that she hadn't sold any goods.

White Pearl offered words of comfort:

"It's alright, we don't have many autumn clothes to begin with, and they're all high-quality pieces. We'll sell them slowly."

Moreover, the weather hasn't cooled down yet; once it gets cooler, more people will naturally buy autumn clothes.

Bai Zhenzhu also proactively reminded Li Yueshu:

"Sister, don't be too nervous. I saw that my second sister-in-law is knitting a sweater. You should also go and weigh some yarn and knit whenever you have free time."

Li Yueshu was taken aback: "Is that alright?"

Bai Zhenzhu chuckled: "Of course you can. When no one's around, you're just killing time anyway. You can knit sweaters or make shoes."

Li Yueshu has been quite free these past few days; she's practically mopped the cement floor until it's shiny.

Bai Zhenzhu doesn't have time; she plans to take advantage of the fewer customers now to go out more often and look for a place to live.

Buying a house is a major undertaking.

Around six o'clock, Bai Zhenzhu figured there wouldn't be many customers left, so she asked Li Yueshu to watch the shop while she took Shuo Shuo to the market.

While she was looking at her classmates' shoes, Shuo Shuo suddenly tugged at her:

"Mom, Aunt Xia had a fight with someone."

Bai Zhenzhu turned her head and saw a crowd of onlookers gathered outside Xia He's shop.

The faint sound of arguing could be heard.

Bai Zhenzhu picked up her son and walked over.

Xia He was getting angry at the onlookers:

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen people argue before? Have you even sorted out your own family's mess before coming to laugh at me?"

Her fiery temper was well-known in the market, and the onlookers, not wanting to cause trouble, quickly dispersed.

Bai Zhenzhu didn't leave because she saw Xia He's fiancé, Xu Qinglin.

Xu Qinglin was with a woman; the two looked somewhat alike.

Upon seeing the white pearl, Xia He's expression softened, and she came over to take Shuo Shuo from her.

He coldly said to Xu Qinglin and Xu Xiudan:

"My friend is here, you should leave."

After saying that, she winked at Bai Zhenzhu, who then followed her into the shop.

Xu Xiudan was furious and shouted at Xu Qinglin:

"Qinglin, let's go."

Xu Qinglin followed her into the shop, and persistently tugged at Xia He:

"Xia He, what exactly do you mean?"

Xia He protected Shuo Shuo:

"Why are you pulling and tugging at me like that, in front of the child?"

"I don't want to argue with you. Tomorrow I'll go to your house with my mom to talk about breaking off the engagement. Don't worry, I'll keep all the hair clips you gave me. I definitely won't owe you a single thread."

Xu Qinglin's face was filled with disbelief:

"What? You want to break off our engagement?"

Xia He sneered: "Isn't this what you've always wanted to say? What, does it make you uncomfortable that I brought it up first?"

Xu Xiudan suddenly rushed in, pointing at Xia He:

"Xia He, what right do you have to bring up annulment? If anyone should bring it up, it should be us."

Xia He returned Shuo Shuo to Bai Zhenzhu, furious:

"Alright, alright, consider it a good suggestion from you, okay?"

"Can you get out of here now? You're scaring the child."

Xu Xiudan tugged at Xu Qinglin:

"Qinglin, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you leaving?"

Xu Qinglin had come to his senses, and the way he looked at Xia He probably thought she had gone mad.

At the same time, they don't believe it.

He knew all too well how much Xia He liked him.

Almost all the clothes, pants, shoes, and socks he wore were bought for him by Xia He.

And they've been talking for several years.

Now that he's been promoted and his company is about to allocate him housing, how could Xia He possibly want to break off their engagement?

She must be angry because she asked him to come help move goods in the morning, and he was late.

Yes, that must be the case.

Although his family looked down on Xia He for being self-employed, they hadn't found a suitable girl after searching for so long.

Xia He is capable, beautiful, and good at making money. Considering all factors, Xu Qinglin felt that Xia He was a good person.

However, he felt that Xia He's words today were too much. She actually told them to get lost and treated his sister that way, so he was a little unhappy.

"Xia He, I've already apologized for what happened this morning, there's no need for you to keep bringing it up."

"You shouldn't have brought up the topic of breaking off the engagement so casually, and you definitely shouldn't have treated my sister like that. You should apologize to my sister."

"I'll pretend this never happened after you apologized."

Bai Zhenzhu looked at Xu Qinglin in surprise. Was this guy out of his mind?

Xia He was so angry she almost laughed, and she grabbed a clothes hanger and started hitting it:

"apologize?"

"I apologize, I apologize, I apologize to you so much!"

Xu Qinglin was beaten and ran away holding his briefcase.

Xia He exhaled a breath of stale air, then turned around with a smile on her face again:

"Little Shuo Shuo, arguing and fighting are wrong. Don't learn from your aunt."

Shuo Shuo blinked:

“But if anyone bullies Mom, I will hit him.”

Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He were both taken aback.

Xia He hugged Shuo Shuo and gave him a big, hard kiss:

"You really are your mother's good son. Yes, that's how it should be."

Bai Zhenzhu's heart melted completely.

He patted Shuo Shuo's round little head and said to Xia He:

Are you really going to call off the engagement?

Xia He's eyes turned cold:

"They're the ones looking for a better option while they're still using a donkey. I must be out of my mind to marry into a family like that."
